They do sell it in the states, but as I purchased mine locally I don't know the shipping cost.
My personal opinion (after seeing these things in person) is that they are definitely worth the additional cost over live rock if you are trying to get a specific look or focal point in your tank. I particularly like the square backwall pieces for a rectangular tank.

One cool thing I just noticed last night while sitting in my normal spot at the dinner table was that from that angle the backdrop for my new tank is my existing 215gal mixed reef. The water is now so clear that the 215gal almost looks like it's part of the 375gal tank. It really adds depth (if you use your imagination just a bit).
I took a couple of pics although they really don't show how nice they look:
When designing this tank, one of the main considerations was the view from the dinner table (my family eats dinner together everday) - but this is really a nice added bonus

Yes, I do plan to keep the 215gal running. It's now my wifes tank and athough I do all the maintenance and stuff she has complete control over aquascaping and any livestock that goes into the tank. Mostly softies/LPS/Clams (she's basically anti-SPS).

Took a pic of the sump this weekend - it still needs a bit of cleaning up.
You can see the big Grotech 300 skimmer behind the undersized Zeovit reactor. On the wall behind them is the Schuran JetStream 1 Calc Reactor and above them is the Neptune Aquacontroller II.
I also put a few more SPS frags in a few days ago and they seem to be doing well. I'll probably add the first fish this week...

Purchased my first fish for the new tank today.
A pair of Crosshatched Triggers from Atlantis Aquarium that I've had my eye on for few weeks. Both are beautiful and already out and about and eating in my tank. The only issue is that the female was injured during the transport from the LFS to my home - she has a flesh wound on her flank. I hope that she recovers.
Here are a few pics:
